Strategy Tips

tee shot

Consider hitting a fairway wood or long iron off the tee rather than driver to position yourself for a full approach shot. The fairway widens from 45 yards at 200 yards to 55 yards at 250 yards, giving you more room if you lay back slightly.

hazard warning

Avoid the bunkers positioned at 214.7 yards on both sides of the fairway. These hazards are strategically placed in the prime landing zone for aggressive drives, making course management crucial on this slight dogleg left.

approach

From 380 yards total length, a conservative tee shot to 200-220 yards leaves you with a manageable 160-180 yard approach to attack the pin. This strategy aligns with the hole's design philosophy of rewarding precision over power.

green

The generous green measuring 32 yards by 27 yards (4,886 sq ft) allows for aggressive approach shots once you've navigated the fairway bunkers. Use this large target to your advantage with your second shot.
